Method: Roster spans premium ducted/remote-motor whole-house fans (QuietCool Classic Advanced, Stealth Pro, Trident Pro; Tamarack HV1000; CentricAir 3.4; AirScape 1.7 and legacy 2.5e) and traditional direct ceiling-mounted attic fans (Air Vent 54301, Cool Attic CX24DDWT, Master Flow WHFS24M, Triangle Engineering CC3623) — deliberately excluding portable tower/pedestal fans and simple gable/attic exhaust fans. Sources are manufacturer sites (quietcoolsystems.com, tamtech.com, centricair.com, airscapefans.com) first, then authorized distributors/retailers (Lowe's, LennoxPros, HVACDirect, Sutherlands, TrueValue, TheLumberYard, ManualsLib-hosted OEM manuals, Amazon) where no manufacturer page existed. Three requested roster names had no real matching catalog entry — "Master Flow WHF3000," generic "Triangle Engineering," and "CentricAir 3.5" — each swapped for the closest verified real SKU (WHFS24M, CC3623, CentricAir 3.4 respectively; CentricAir's real lineup tops out at 3.4), and "AirScape 1.7e" maps to AirScape's real, now-discontinued "1.7" model; each substitution is flagged in that product's provenance. airflow_cfm is written as "high/low CFM" for two-speed units where both figures are published; coverage_sqft and sound_level_note carry units/context as strings; speed_settings and motor_warranty_years are plain numbers; insulated_damper and remote_or_app_control are booleans describing what ships standard (not paid add-ons), with null wherever a value could not be confirmed rather than guessed. All prices and headline specs independently re-verified 2026-08-16 against the cited sources; corrections applied for the AirScape 1.7 replacement-model name (Ventura 1700, not the fabricated "LiftLock 1700"), the CL-4700 coverage figure, and the Air Vent 54301 CFM (resolved to the model-specific Sutherlands figure after the Amazon source erred). accessedAt 2026-08-16.
